Design Patterns and Trade?Offs in Responsive Visualization for Communication

Increased access to mobile devices motivates the need design communicative visualizations that are responsive varying screen sizes. However, relatively little guidance or tooling is currently available authors. We contribute a detailed characterization of visualization strategies in communication-oriented visualizations, identifying 76 total by analyzing 378 pairs large (LS) and small (SS) from online articles reports. Our analysis distinguishes between Targets visualization, referring what elements changed Actions representing how targets changed. identify key trade-offs related authors' maintain graphical density, amount information per pixel, while also maintaining “message” intended takeaways for users visualization. discuss implications our findings future tool support transformation designs, including requirements automated recommenders visualizations.
